A Sonic Carol
Chapter 4: The Sick Present
Once Sonic opened his eyes, he found himself in his own room again. Sonic looked around the room. Any strange lights or surprises, but nothing was there. Until someone plucked off the ground.
"Woah! Hey! Watch the quills!" Sonic yelled. He came eye to eye to what looked like a giant. Sonic looked around his room, now seeing below him were lots of gifts and food.
"The gifts of the present." The giant answered the unasked question in a booming voice. Sonic turned to see the giant, speaking of how close Sonic was to him, couldn't tell how he looked like.
"Your the Spirit of Christmas Present?" Sonic asked.
"Surprised?" The spirit asked taking offense.
"No, no." Sonic said quickly. "It's just... The last one was just a little girl."
"I see..." Said the spirit then stood up. "Lets go."
The spirit had somehow gotten out of the apartment home without smashing it to pieces. Then started walking.
When they stopped. The spirit put Sonic down and Sonic turned around and looked in the window.
"This is Tails' place! But it looks different." Said Sonic.
"After you left, Tails didn't have purpose of making the weapons and devices for you." Said the spirit.
Inside the house, Cream the Rabbit, or known now as Cream Prower. Was cooking dinner and placed a small turkey and mashed potatoes.
"Food!" Cream called.
"Coming mom!" Cried what sounded like a boy. In came a little fox with brown fur and two tails but the sad thought was, he was in a wheelchair.
Sonic stared at the boy, "Little Miles Jr. has a weak mind and its hard for if to figure out people mean. Or how to walk." Said the spirit calmly.
"Coming Creamy." Said Tails flying in and kissing Cream's cheek.
"Did you see Sonic today?" Cream asked.
"Yeah... But... He's even more different then how they say he is." Tails said sadly. "Not in a good way, he is leaving tomorrow."
"Oh, Amy will be so heartbroken when she hears that." Cream said sadly.
"I'm afraid that she's already heartbroken Cream. There is nothing we can do. Is she coming tonight?" Tails asked.
"Miles, you know how Amy is about Christmas now." Cream said.
Tails sighed, "I know, I wish she would move on."
"I tried my hardest, but as soon as I try talking about it. She rubs her earring and ignores me." Cream said.
"What's the deal with that earring? She doesn't have another one to go with it." Tails said in wonder.
"When I asked her, she started crying again." Cream said.
Tails sighed again, then grew into a smile, "Well, we can't just lay around here feeling sorry, it's Christmas Eve. Lets enjoy it." Tails said joyfully.
"Christmas!" Cried Miles Jr. happily.
Cream giggled and patted Miles Jr. on his head and rubbed her nose against his. Miles Jr. laughed but started coughing. Cream and Tails looked at each other sadly.
"They do not have the money to help him. I'm afraid he is very sick." Said the spirit sadly. Sonic could not look at the image any longer.
Soon the spirit picked him up again and they started walking again. They stopped in front of a familiar house and Sonic was once again on the ground.
"Amy's house..." Sonic said quietly.
There stood Amy sitting at a table with little food on her plate, she was a lighter pink then when he last saw her and is pale and skinny.
"The girl has lost the will to go on. I'm afraid she's in deep depression and cannot get a job and rarely leaves her home." The spirit said.
The pink hedgehog was rubbing a silver earring that was on her ear, tears running down her cheeks. Amy stood up and slowly walked to the couch and sat down and picked up a picture and started sobbing.
"Why..." She mumbled into her sobs, "Why..."
"Spirit, can't I fix this?" Sonic turned around to see no one. But soon the scene around him started to fade and the image of Amy disappeared.
